( H U18T~lS KING.
If one wants concrete evidence of
the power and influence of Jesus
Christ and Ilia' teachings, he need go
no further than to watch the happy
faces of the people, young and old,
jich and poor, as they labor and give
unselfishly to make others happy at
Christmas time. The world has furnished
its galaxy of heroes from the
bigiuing of recorded time down to
the present, but no person v^ho over
lived, moved and had hi* being upon
this earth so left his stamp upon it
and-his impress upon the hearts of
the pWple as did our Saviour. Instead
of his lustr^ waning as generations
Come and go, as has been the ease
with others, He see nil to bo more
nearly with us each year, and in
spite of what agnosftcs may say or
think, God fearing people over this
earth know that fro one without divine
command could have influenced
as he did the lives and thoughts of
men ami women for all time. Even so
we like to think of Christ as a virile
personality. We do not hold with
those who would in clothing Him-with
meekness mistake weakness for
meekness, ^ty^weak man drove the
money changer^" out of the temple
and no weak personality could have1'
influenced a felon As he hung crucified
with Him on a neighboring cross that
he should look into His face with
rapture and call Him King.
Yes, Christ is with us, though He
was crucified Nineteen Hundred years
ago, and the world is better and kinder
because He passed this way.
O y
We are -reproducing on another
page an interesting article on the cost
of our state government. The writer
signs himself "Citizen", and furnishes
a lot of interesting information which
we take for granted is true. The article
would carry a great deal more
weight, however, if "Citizen" had
signed his real name. These articles
are in three installments and The
Chronicle will carry them all in two
more installments.
An Appreciation.
The Chronicle has received from
the committee wh6 had charge of the
distribution of the Christmas baskets
the following letter of appreciation:
We, the committee*-who had charge
of tho dispensing of the fund raised
through public subscription in the
columns of Tho Ctmden Chronicle,
known as The Goodfellows' Club,
wish to thank you. Mr. H. I). Niles,
editor, for your thought fulness in
starting such a fund. By this means a
nice sum was raised and baskets prepared
and distributed to those who
have little or none of the good things
of the Christmas season, with which
to brighten their lives.
It was our privilege and pleasure
to see how much real joy was created
by this method of showing good fellowship
to our less fortunate brothers.
And to each one who made their
contribution, we thank you in behalf
of the recipients.
Second Victim of Gunwoman.

Capita] Observations
Washington, Dec. J50.?According
to a report ju?t issued <the Library of
Congreaf now contains 4,477,431
books, a greater number than any
other similar establishment in the
world. Many of the publications are
small, and a great number are mereiy
tracts or pamphlets. Every day an
average of over live hundred books
are received from domestic and foreign
sources/ To accommodate the
hyg^ number now on hand eightyfour
miles of shelving are required.
On Saturday the senate passed a
bill granting freedom to the Philippine
Islands after twelve years. During
the previous session the house of
representatives acted favorably upon
a proposition tq^free the islands after
eight years, and there is considerable
difference in other respects, principally
as to the amoiuit of imports to be
allowed free of tariff duty during tHe
transitqry period, and as to the adaption
of a constitution by the islanders.
An element said to have entered
largely into consideration is the fact
thut an undue advantage is had ./because
of duty-free products of the
islands now coming into the United
States, whereas aftei* roloase'the.regular
tariff ratOs would be applicable.
The two bills will go to conference
with a view of reconciliation of differences,
but it is believed that in any
event a veto at tho hands of President
Hoover awaits. During .the administration
of President Wilson a
resolution passed congress practically
promising independence to the islands
in due time, but nothing tangible has
resulted since.
The house of representatives is considering
a bill to legalize the manufacture
of beer, the principal objects
being to raise revenue and to provide
employment. The main provisions
are a tax of $1,000 on breweries and
a further tax of five dollars a barrel
of thirty-one gallons on the product,
which may be of gfo alcoholic strength
of 3.2 per cent by weight, which
equals four per cent, by volume. The
contention of tho proponents of the
measure is that a beverage of the
strength indicated is not intoxicating
in fact, and that there will accordingly
be no violation of the eighteenth
amendment, but strict prohibitionists
contend otherwise. It is estimated
that the Federal income would be increased,
eventually approaching $300,000,000
annually. It is provided that
no permit be issued for a brewery to
bo located in a state whose laws prohibit
such an establishment, and it
would be unlawful t<T~transport beer
of the strength designated into dry
territory, that is, into a state where
its sale would be illegal. Changes in
the bill may be made, or amendments
may be adopted, but it appears probable
that a measure along the lines
indicated will he passed.
On the fifti^erath instant Great BriI
tain and several other countries paid
installments on debts due the United
States .while five nations did not.
Some of the smaller ones claimed that
it was impossible from a financial
standpoint, while some of those that
defaulted joined France in holding
that since Germany has been released
practically from the payment of any
further considerable indemnity the
United States should cancel, or
rather scale "down debts due. . This
country has consistently and persistently
held that indemnities which
might be collected from Germany by
European nations and debts duo'by
the latter to the United States were
two separate and distinct propositions,
and there is no disposition to
show further leniency as most favorable
terms were granted, with interest
at an exceedingly low rate. The
situation bids fair to be the cause of
irritation and friction in the future,
and it is one of the problems which
it is hoped that the incoming administration
may successfully solve.
One reason for the weakness and
I failure of the Hoover administration!
doubtless is the small caliber of the
men in the cabinet with whom he
surrounded himself. Being arrogant
and opinionated to the point of vindictiveness.
he would brook no o>unselo
with ideas and plane of his own,
bill .selected for his official associates
walled "yes. \es" men, who did not
venture to ;a r-:st in any eonstru. live I
measures of their own. if they ever j
devised any. Even up to the deluge of
November the eighth they Were pouring
into his ears platitudes that he
was an eminently great man, that the
fxn?pU* ?aio ren^i implicitly on him,
and that he would be re-elected. The
result was pathetic in a sense, and he
and his cohorts were overwhelmed in
fhe greatest avalanche that ever occurred
in the political history of the
country.
Representative Fred Britten. Republican
of Illinois, issued a statement
Wednesday night in which he
criticised France as a "cheat, miser,
impostor and international swindler."
He added to his statement: "The refusal
of France to pay ran only be regarded
as an expression of French
hatred toward tho United States and
the things we stand for."
